Excerpt from Studies in Humanism

OF the essays which compose this volume about half have appeared in various periodicals - Mind, the Hibbert journal, the Quarterly Review, the Fortuzlg/ztly Review, and the journal of P/zilosop/zy - during the past three years, and I am indebted to their editors for the leave to republish. Additions have, however, grown so extensive that of the matter of the book not more than one-third, and that the less constructive part, can be said to have been in print before. That the form should still be discontinuous is due to the fact that the conditions under which I have had to work greatly hamper and delay the composition of a con tinuous treatise, and that it seemed imperative to deal more expeditiously with the chief strategic points of the philosophic situation. I hope, however, that the dis continuity of the form will not be found incompatible with an essential continuity of aim, argument, and interest. In all these respects the present Studies may most naturally be regarded as a continuation of Humanism and of my share in Personal Idealism, without, however, ceasing to be independently intelligible. They have had to reflect the developments of philosophy and the progress of discussion, and this has rendered them, I fear, slightly more technical on the whole than Humanism.
